Shukari Forest

A large forest that was first used as a strategic point in the war as a crossing from the leaf village to the cloud village. It has since regrown and is the temporary home of the Kuya clan.

Kotaro took a bite of the smoked beef he had cooked over the fire, his clans tents surrounding the whole open area. He had sentries posted every where as he waited for the Hokage to arrive. Even with his treaty to the Mizukage, he wanted to make sure this Hokage was trustworthy. "Any time now."

Coren Keitaro was walking wen he smelled meat. It smells so delicious... "Shut up Braxdonn. Can't I just walk in peace for once?" I still don't get why you are even coming. The Raikage isn't trustworthy... "Nobody is until they prove they are. We're almost there." Oh yeah, we are. The smell is much stronger and delicious. Coren sighed as he wondered what the Raikage had in mind.

OOC: Braxdonn is the nickname he gave his Kekkai Genkai.

You leech off that boy as well as I do Draconis.""Yet I have no choice, and in return I give him the power to protect him. You simply take his power and use it for your own personal gains willingly, while I shall die if I do not. You are far worse than I, Charon."

Coren kept his hand near his hidden katana as he followed this man. Oh my god... I have to have some meat... Coren then responded in thought 'Yeah, well, you can't. You don't even really exist outside of my mind. So shut up.' he then followed the man and he reached the Raikage, who was eating meat. OH MY GOD MEAT! and Coren accidently said out loud "Shut up." he looked at the Raikage embarrassed and asked "That shouldn't have come out."

Kotaro looked up at the Hokage at his voice. He tilted his head. "I guess you have a spoken mind." He said. He motioned in front of the fire. "Sit down, relax, have some food." It was customary for the Kuya clan to treat guests with respect and offer them food.

Coren sat and said "Thank you, but I'm not that hungry." just in spite of Braxdonn, who said Oh come on! You're evil... Coren smiled a little as he said "So, you called for me Raikage?"

Kotaro nodded his understanding and motioned for the sentry to leave. After they were alone, Kotaro cleared his throat. "It is great to make your acquaintance lord Hokage. I called you here to discuss political standards and the recent treaty signing."

"I'm sorry if I seem slow about this kinda stuff, but I'm not exactly great at things political. Now, exactly what do mean to speak about? Anything specific? Because Political standards extends to many things." Just kill him and be done with it! Coren cracked his neck as he screamed with in his mind to make Braxdonn shut up.

Kotaro turned serious. "It is my duty to make sure my village is protected. I have recently signed a treaty with the Mizukage to establish peace between our nations. I would also like to sign a treaty with you to establish peace, however, there are some concerns." He said taking a bite of the meat. "One concern is you too green. Too knew to the Hokage scene. I am unsure if signing with you is a good idea. Second concern is our clans. We fought for this very forest during the great shinobi war and there is bad blood between us, I want to make sure the bloodshed will not deter any plans we have to aid eachother. Third concern, the Mizukage. I am unsure if he will be willing to sign the treaty and complete the triad between us."

Coren nodded and said "They are good concerns. I can't say that it would be a good idea to sign a treaty with me so new to the job, but it might be just as bad, or worse if we don't. You can't know the future, right?" Coren ended it with a sincere smile as Braxdonn said Gay. Coren then said "And in the case of us fighting in the past, it is just that, isn't it? Why quarrel over what happened between our ancestors when we could make peace or our descendants?" Coren then twitched as Braxdonn screamed out I'M HUNGRY. Coren then said quietly "Would you shut up Braxdonn." and looked back at the Raikage, hoping he didn't hear that.

Coren looked at him and said "Sorry, I'm not used to being around people. Would it be wrong to guess you know about it?" Coren relaxed a little as he asked this.

Hmm, I like him now. I don't know why though... Coren thought back 'Because you want to kill him.' Oh yeah... Coren looked at Kotaro again as he took another bite and screamed in his head before Braxdonn had a chance. 'Seriously, don't.' Coren then said to Kotaro "Well, the only thing he's talking about is hunger. But then again, that's the only thing that's ever on his mind anyway. So," Coren then sat up straight and said "About the Mizukage. You said he might not sign a treaty. Do you know why not?"

"I believe he doesn't trust the leaf. After all, the leaf and rain have never really been on secure terms." Kotaro replied. "It also may be that he has a personal vendetta against the leaf." He suddenly went blank and started to scratch behind his ear like a dog. He stopped and looked at him. "Sorry, my kekkei genkai is....peculiar."

Coren nodded and said "Thanks." and started eating. He looed at Kotaro, wondering if he had anything else to say about the Mizukage.

"I can control him at almost all times. But only almost. I still lose control sometimes, when I get to angry."

"Basically, I need to be angry to the point of blind rage in order to lose control."
